So listening to the iTunes previews (35+ minutes of music in itself, incidentally) I'm on the fence as to whether or not to buy this. There's some really good stuff here, but not enough to fill two discs -- and as always, his playing is robotic.

His playing is cold, bright, and robotic, in the sense that he cares more about what keys he hits and when he hits them than how he hits them. As a person, he's far from "robotic," and he certainly leverages this in live performances -- but the studio just isn't the same outlet for his energy and intensity, especially on solo tracks like these.

He can use his cold and bright style to his advantage, like with Daikirai's toy piano solo. And there are exceptions, like Genjitsu ni Oite.
